Serious question, they have a reputation of ruining countless games and meddling with development or just doing stupid shit in other ways

The most recent example would be Titanfall 2 getting sandwiched between CoD:Infinite Warfare and Battlefield 1 and flopping because of it

Respawn is a bit of a sad story.

Formed because Activision tried to screw the team over. EA offers them a good deal to develop Titanfall. EA decides to make it Xbox exclusive and partners with Microsoft.

Respawn try again with the promise that Titanfall 2 will be multiplat and will feature a single player campaign. I guess they thought this would be enough.

They've since been given the Star Wars IP so I guess we'll see how that goes. Didn't go well for Visceral.

It's okay to dislike it, but you have to admit that it was, at the very least, a divisive game.

You are probably right. I liked it. I did meet another guy at my work who thought it was garbage, though. I mean, I can see why it would be divisive; weak storyline, Call-of-Duty clone multiplayer, and if you don't already have a thing for giant robots, it's not going to tick any boxes for you.

it's more the other way around. EA will come to smaller studios and offer their support. They will offer massive publicity and funding

Let's be serious for a moment; If you want to blame EA for Mass Effect Andromeda's failure, why doesn't EA get praise for the series in the first place since they were along with it the entire time?

With massive fucking strings attatched and usually involves a ton of executive meddling from above.

This is a known fact and yet devs are STILL lining up to sign their death warrant, why?

It reminds me of a line leading to a slaughterhouse

Mass Effect started with Microsoft. EA didn't get Bioware until they were in the middle of developing Mass Effect 2.

But tbh Bioware deserves the blame for Andromeda more than the EA. The only real EA decisions that screwed them over was forcing them to use Frostbite and forcing them to finally release the damn thing.

EA does deserve credit for Dead Space and Mirrors Edge though.

Yeah, and that is hailed as the best one >_>.

I get what you are saying, I'm just saying if we really want to make a point about what EA has done wrong, we should be accurate and give them credit where credit is due, so that the criticisms actually have some weight to them.

Tell me the logic behind 6vs6 in 2017 when a game in 2003 could do 133vs133vs133 per map with 10 maps on the same server

Why would you want a SHOOTER game with only 6 targets to shoot at?

Because not everyone has such a low attention span that they need to be pulling the trigger every other microsecond to have a good time? >_>

That's backwards

Someone with a low attention span would rather the game give you massive breaks in action

And I don't even know what kind of argument you're trying to make here. "I want to play a game but not actually play it most of the time"?
